Florida 81, Stony Brook 45: Gators throttle Seawolves in Todd Golden’s debut

If Florida can play every game under Todd Golden like it did its first, Gator Nation is going to be very happy with its new men’s basketball coach.

Sure, the Gators, winners by a record-settling 81-45 count over Stony Brook on Monday would have probably liked to make more threes than they did while the game was still competitive — two makes from VMI transfer Trey Bonham and walk-on Alex Klatsky from distance in the final two minutes turned a respectable 8-for-23 night from deep into a better-on-paper-than-it-was-in-real-time 10-for-25 performance. Colin Castleton would probably rather not go 1-for-4 from the line, either, and Kowacie Reeves can’t have been thrilled to have more fouls (four) than made baskets (three).
